Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing, securing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The idea is to stabilize carbon in solid and dissolved forms so that it doesn’t cause the atmosphere to warm. The process shows tremendous promise for reducing the human “carbon footprint.” There are two main types of carbon sequestration: biological and geological.
Agriculture is one of the sectors under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. But that can be a tall order for farmers. Researchers, however, may have found a way, and it is all about rocks.

Carbon footprint of gabion walls. Gabion walls really do have a significantly lower carbon footprint than a concrete wall. Taking into account the embodied energy for the carbon footprint of a 10 foot high wall through all stages of it''s life (manufacturing, transport, construction and maintenance)

The authors point out that achieving sufficiently high net CO 2 removal will require upscaling of basalt mining, deploying systems in remote areas with a low carbon footprint (like drones or

HSBC Holdings Plc and Barclays Plc revealed last week that they’re each responsible for financed emissions equivalent to roughly 18% of the total carbon footprint of the U.K. That followed a landmark set of climate disclosures from BlackRock Inc., which indicate the asset manager’s emissions at least rival those of Volkswagen AG, Europe’s
Newlight Technologies, a California company and X Prize finalist, is using a microorganism-based biocatalyst (similar to an enzyme) to turn CO2 captured from air into a bioplastic. The biocatalyst pulls carbon out of methane or carbon dioxide from farms, water treatment plants, landfills, and energy facilities.
The process just needs carbon, water and basalt and is a neat way of returning the carbon to the ground from whence it came. And it’s cheap at around 15 euros (US$17.50) per tonne. Carbfix has
He says the crushing directly at the source saves steps, is more energy efficient and shrinks the operation''s carbon footprint. In one year, Singh proudly says, he has reduced the footprint of two

But in Norway, a startup called Carbon Crusher is recycling old roads with a plant-based binder instead. The approach shrinks the carbon footprint of road repair projects so much that the roads
Locally, we have several sources of basalt rock dust, left over from mining and crushing trap rock for construction. The dark-colored Holyoke basalt has iron, magnesium and calcium oxides (roughly

The combined effects of land-use category conversion and land-use management were large overall carbon emissions that totaled approximately 1.45 Pg of carbon (PgC) between 1990 and 2010. This equates to annual emissions of 72.4 TgC year −1, accounting for 15% of China’s total carbon emissions in 1990 and 4% in 2010.
The researchers estimate that if the United States spread rock dust on half the country’s farmland it could capture 420 million tons of carbon dioxide, at an annual cost of $225 for every
Spreading rock dust on farmland could suck billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air every year, according to the first detailed global analysis of the technique.
Maureen James’ areas of interest range from carbon sequestration, machine learning for rock physics and seismic modelling. After earning her bachelors in science, She worked as a production geoscientist for two years where she performed seismic interpretation and analysis to optimize oil recovery from prolific reservoirs in Niger Delta, Nigeria.
De Beers is aiming to become carbon neutral, and ideally carbon negative, with an ambitious plan. At its core is the rough kimberlite rock that encases diamonds.

Think about how much energy it takes to move heavy rock. By leaving it in situ, we can save massive amounts of energy, and no waste rock to store in dams, which can occasionally lead to catastrophic failures such as the Brazil tailings dam disaster in 2015. Reducing the industry''s carbon footprint

Introduction. Anthropogenic inputs of carbon dioxide (CO 2) to the atmosphere are the primary cause of global warming (Field and Raupach, 2004; Canadell et al., 2007; IPCC, 2014).The Paris Agreement goal to limit the increase in global average temperature to 1.5°C is unlikely to be met without deep decarbonisation of the global economy together with large scale CO 2 removal (CDR) from the
Iris Holzer: And in each block, half the block is getting rock, half the block is a control. Amy Quinton: Iris is a woman who is downright passionate about soil. She explains how adding rock dust to this field can capture carbon. Iris Holzer: When the rock weathers and reacts with CO2, there are two different forms that the carbon can be stored as.
